Ayurveda treats human life at three levels - Physical, Mental and Astral

    

The word Ayurveda is made up of two words AYUH and VEDA (AYUH means life and VEDA means to attain/know- Knowledge/Science). 

This Ancient wisdom of life has always believed in natural way of healing considering body, mind and soul as a whole, as opposed to modern western medicines which treat human body in Silos. Physiologist would have no knowledge of Psychology, and Psychologist would have no knowledge of Physiology. 

Modern medicine “Treats” the body temporarily, while Ayurveda is preventive and curative. 

It is most enduring, natural system of healing and is accepted as the oldest scientific medical system, with a long record of clinical experience. 

More than a medical system, it is a science of life and way of living with the rhythm of nature.  

Since it views the man as a whole, having three bodies – Physical, Mental and Astral – its system of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment always take into consideration all three levels
